Hockey goalies wear some pretty intimidating masks. There's the skull-eating demon, the angry shark, and the scariest of them all, the Palin for President. But none of those can bat around a ball of yarn like this cuddly mark worn by Vasiliy Koshechkin of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League.
Its name is CеÑÑiй, and it is "very bored from being on the side of his head all the time."
CеÑÑiй is no name for a kitten, Let's just call it mittens.
